Stress is number one. If your ever in a narcissitic or other toxic relationship for too long it destroys you. Or qork 60 hours a week on the regular. I wish I knew before what I know now, it goes far beyond burnout.
Couldn't agree more ; linked to a NARC for 35 years, I got ill after the first 12 yrs association. Stay away from energy vampires, NARCS, toxic people in general and very negative people who moan all the time, treat yourself well and others, protect yourself from destructive & damaging influences/people, eat healthy, de-stress.
Eat well, move gently, stress less and love more. Thanks for the video Raelan! This book is spot on for what helped me so much in my ME/CFS recovery - I ate a whole food plant based/ some dairy, a little fish diet (and I avoided medication) I used movement such as chi gong, walking and not resting for more than 30 Minutes to help, I focused on reducing stress - and as you said throughout the day, not just a one-off, and I loved more (particularly myself). It sill amazes me how much commonality there is when people talk about what really helps. 🙂. Thank you!
You are *so* dang adorable!!!! Also, just a pitch for the FB group. Folks it is everything Raelen says it is. If you love her you're gonna love this group, because it truly expresses her beautiful, helpful, shiningly positive energy. I joined last week and I've already gotten *tons* of information to put in my toolbox and start implementing. And the inspiration and encouragement to do so. Highly recommend.

Good stuff. I want to add: aloneness not the same as loneliness. The first is just a situation, not a problem at all. The second is an emotion we create, that hurts. Lol. Those outtakes 😆 !
Thank you for going over that book. I will definitely read it. I do believe in lifestyle medicine more and more. It’s what helped me improve tremendously last year and keeps helping me. I do have times when I don’t do it so this episode is a great reminder to keep it up.
I've been wanting to read that book for a while. I watched an interview with him and I really loved everything he said! I love that its not just diet he focuses on, but an all over holistic approach. I know many people that think that just changing diet will heal them..
Just done 4 weeks of CFS! Clearly a slow learner(16 years of CFS) just cannot handle stress anymore, one or 2 stressors are ok but if I have a few at once, BAM
Hi Raelan, I don't know if your diet still reflects what you say in this video more or less but I'm similar. I think the reason people find benefit with both vegetarian/vegan and keto/paleo diets is due to food combining principles originally taught by Dr William Hay. In essence a concentrated starch and a concentrated protein cause digestive issues when eaten in the same meal so correctly combining your meals results in better digestion, energy, better nutrition and no toxic byproducts of indigestion. Basing your diet mostly WFPB and then combining correctly with either starch/carb or concentrated protein gives the best health results... Plus everything you say in the video 🤗
Sounded like a sneaky little fart at 8.45... :p Speaking of gas. I eat predominantly plant based, but still have some issues with my digestion especially while eating carbs. I do ferment vegetables etc. but would still like to get this sorted 100%.
Raelan, I love your book reviews. Thank you. Here’s a good way to think about telomeres: if you imagine that chromosomes are like shoe laces, the telomeres are the end bits that tend to fray. 😊
For me, it was a combination of minimizing processed foods, adding in much more plant-based foods, and regular consumption of fermented foods (among some other tweaks!)
Raelan can you touch on marriages with battling this? It has been really hard. One being that most men need sexual intimacy and we have no drive nor energy to attempt... How about the money we spend on supplements and therapies that they have a hard time with that haven't gotten us better. They don't understand how we feel. And the guilt that they may work more and pick up house chores too... Ugh

Wow Ali, super impressive! Good for you for making all these changes. And agreed, I too am amazing with all the commonality!

Thanks for letting us know. I have been thinking about this myself lately.
I second this, it is a wonderfully helpful group!
Wow Chansonette, that’s so great to hear and thank you for sharing that! You are so incredibly kind and sweet, I’m so glad you’ve joined our group 💖
So nice to hear!

Yes!! Well said 💫
Congratulations on breaking the generational cycles of illness in your family!! 👏 that is a MAJOR feat.
Thank you, Alisha! I appreciate that. And yes, it does feel like a massive accomplishment 💛
Just ordered it!! Being and RN I 100% support everything that was said. Now I can’t wait to put it into action on a regular 😁

Yes!! Well said. I’ll have to look for that interview 🌟
Loved this! And how you are showing some humour and "bloopers" at the end, makes you extra approachable and charming!! 😁😆🙏
Hi Raelan, Cheers to another great resource to put on my wishlist! Thanks again for your words of empowerment! 💕💕💕
So glad you find this helpful Bobbie! 💫
30 Day's of antibiotics Destroyed My Health. Triggered soo many other complication's. ThanX K
Just done 4 weeks of CFS! Clearly a slow learner(16 years of CFS) just cannot handle stress anymore, one or 2 stressors are ok but if I have a few at once, BAM

*Lifestyle medicine is huge*
Agreed!!!! Massive.
Love the outakes!
Haha thanks Kathy 🤣
Forgot to add that I totally agree with deep breathing and the best for me is listening to Binaural beats for CFS and just to say no to going out!
Sounded like a sneaky little fart at 8.45... :p
Speaking of gas. I eat predominantly plant based, but still have some issues with my digestion especially while eating carbs. I do ferment vegetables etc. but would still like to get this sorted 100%.
Speaking of gas 😂 Nice Segway 😎 Haha and it was the chair (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it 😉)
Raelan, I love your book reviews. Thank you.
Here’s a good way to think about telomeres: if you imagine that chromosomes are like shoe laces, the telomeres are the end bits that tend to fray. 😊
Ahh thanks for that!!! Super helpful 😀
What helped you to heal your gut? Supplements, vitamins, probiotics? Who is the Dr who has helped you? Thank you
For me, it was a combination of minimizing processed foods, adding in much more plant-based foods, and regular consumption of fermented foods (among some other tweaks!)
I love Dr. Ornish! Have you found a plant-based food delivery service? Do you know about Mama Sezz? Thanks for all your wonderful videos.
I haven't found one that I like yet, so thanks so much for the suggestion!
Did you get better with GAPS diet or with plant based diet advocated here?
Plant based worked well for me, with some aspects of GAPS such as fermented foods 😊
Use the sirens as a reminder to relax :)
Oooo I like this! Thanks Yaacov, I will do that 💯
Can i get this book in India??
Unfortunately I'm not sure. If not a hard copy then perhaps the kindle version to read with the Kindle app?
